T hey may look like a bunch of purple grapes, but after hear- ing them one may be able to overlook that The Choir has added an extra ten people to become better and stronger. The previous year there were only 32 people, but with the addition of the freshman Class the total went up to 42. Many changes have taken place, only one of which was the new director, Mrs. Kathleen Milford. A number of new ideas had to be adjusted to - after school he- re- arsals . and rid- x ing a bus to performances outside the school. Their singing on the bus almost outdid their con- cert singing in enthusiasm. A great amount of time from January until April was spent rehersing for an opera called llCarmen . All choirs 0f the area had a part in this unique experience. Some of the earlier attempts at the music found them reading the lines orally, to get the rhythm right rather than singing them. It certainly was a new experience. Shades of Purple was formed later in the year than usual Final selections were not made until the week before Christmas vacation. Unlike other years, only choir members were allowed to audition for the group. They first performed as a group for the senior citizens at Christmas time They also participated in the variety show and the solo and ensemble con- test for this district. ON DECEMBER FIVE AND TWENTY FUM FUM FUM. Jim Lister, Bob Fenton, and Jack Warren along with the choir carol outside room 7 for late working yearbook staffers. STUDENT LIFE EE:

hat? A play where the cast drops dead? They did not actually just drop-they were murdered by a psy- chotic killer. That is what happened to eight or the eleven cast members in the fall play Ten Little Indians, an Agatha Christie murder-mystery pre- sented November 16417 in the audiA torium. Ten ceramic Indian figurines 0n the mantlepiece of an old country-house pro- c vide the title of the o a play. The myS- mansion is terious owned Mrs Owen by who invites eight guests to spend the weekend at his isolated retreats One by one the Tlittle lndiansi' began to disappear in a series of bizarre accidents. First to go was the spoiled Anthony Marston tDon Raposey followed closely by the cook, Mrs. Rogers tDawn Sissont. The butler Uack Warrent was axed. Old Emily Brent tHeather Laszloy was drugged; Justice Wargrave tChip Collinsy was shot; Dry Armstrong tMike Bracey took a walk off a Cliff; and foolish Mr. Blore tDave Tucked was crushed by a heavy bronze Clock. The dashing Captain Lombard tMark Bloomt was shot by the clever secretary Vera Claythorne tAmy Betontey So where is the mystery? Vera did it, right? Wrong! Apparently Dr. Arm- strong pronounced the justice dead, so the iustice could keep tabs on every- one and expose the killer The justice then killed Blore and the doctor re- vealed himself to Vera as the psycho- path responsible for the whole cha- rade. Fortunately, Lombard was only grazed by Vera's bullet and he man- aged to retrieve his gun and save her from the crazed justice who invented Mr. Owen in order to carry out his scheme of murder. Kim Nejbauer played Nancy Narracott, the boatman. Tl wish we could have continued longerf said director Mr. Raymond Moore. I had a good script, a good cast, a superb stage-crew headed by Gary Ende, and a well-conceived set, which all contributed to our success?
